Should runners diet to lose weight?  Find out from our sports nutrition expert! In this episode,  We have Jenn Giles from Eat 4 Sport on the show to educate us on what food we should be eating and when we should eat those foods to not only lose weight but run at our best as we age.  We also talk about how much we should be drinking, protein intake for aging runners, nutrition during and after menopause, healthy snacking for shift workers and so much more! Jenn is a board certified sports dietitian, speaker, writer, exercise physiologist, triathlon coach & RRCA running coach and a true expert on this topic.   Here are some of the questions that were answered during this very informative chat: What type of diet is best for runners? Is intermittent fasting good for runners? How long should I eat before running?  What do I eat before runs? What should I eat and drink during long runs? What are the best snacks to eat after a run to recover? Do older runners need more protein? How much water do I really need to drink? What is the best diet to follow during menopause?   Link for the free self assessment mentioned during this episode: https://eat4sport.mykajabi.com/pl/243137   Connect with Jennifer Giles:  Facebook Community: The Sports Nutrition Hub Website: https://www.jenngilesrd.com/ Instagram: @jenngileseat4sport  Facebook: Jennifer O’Donnell Giles Facebook Page: JennGiles Eat4Sport   TikTok: @eat4sport Are you a dedicated runner trying to get out of the injury cycle or a frustrated runner looking to get faster?     Get stronger, run faster, and become a lifelong injury free runner with our 16 week 1-on-1 Healthy Runner Coaching Program.  Get the support, structure, and accountability from experts in the health and running industry.  Personalized easy to follow plans tailored to your unique needs and busy life.   If you’re interested in learning more, we’ve got a behind the scenes video tour of our coaching program and hear from many of our athletes who were struggling with the same sticking points that you are.  Just head to: https://learn.sparkhealthyrunner.com/coaching   Connect with Dr. Duane:   Instagram - @sparkhealthyrunner Join Our Healthy Runner Facebook Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel duane@sparkyourtraining.com www.sparkhealthyrunner.com   Listen & Subscribe:   Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Play iHeartRadio Amazon Music Website
